While qeth_l3 uses netif_keep_dst() to hold onto the dst, a skb's dst may still have been obsoleted (via dst_dev_put()) by the time that we end up using it. The dst then points to the loopback interface, which means the neighbour lookup in qeth_l3_get_cast_type() determines a bogus cast type of RTN_BROADCAST. For IQD interfaces this causes us to place such skbs on the wrong HW queue, resulting in TX errors. Fix-up the various call sites to first validate the dst entry with dst_check(), and fall back accordingly. Signed-off-by: Julian Wiedmann <jwi@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
